About South Portland
South Portland is a long, narrow neighborhood just south of Downtown Portland, between the Willamette River and the West Hills. It runs from I-405 and the Marquam Bridge in the north to SW Canby Street and the Sellwood Bridge in the south, and covers about 1.67 square miles. Its southern end is closest to Lake Oswego.
The neighborhood was formerly called Corbett-Terwilliger-Lair Hill, and its association renamed it South Portland in 2006. The South Portland Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. Subareas include Lair Hill, Corbett, Terwilliger, John’s Landing and South Waterfront, and the Portland Aerial Tram connects South Waterfront to the OHSU campus.
Life in South Portland and what your body feels
South Portland blends historic streets, parks such as Duniway Park, Caruthers Park and Willamette Park, and the dense, fast-growing South Waterfront. Many residents commute by foot, bike, tram or car, and many work at desks or on their feet in health care and office jobs.
Long shifts, screen time and carrying a work bag all add up in the neck and shoulders. Dr. Devine examines how you sit, stand and move, and builds care around your schedule.
Chiropractic care for South Portland patients
Here are some of the conditions Form & Function Chiropractic sees most often from South Portland patients. Care is based on an exam, and Dr. Devine will tell you if another type of provider would serve you better.
- Neck pain: Stiff, sore necks often come from desk work, driving or sleeping awkwardly. We look for the joints and muscles involved and build a plan to restore comfortable motion.
- Headaches and migraines: Some headaches begin in the neck and upper back. We check for those contributors. Sudden, severe or unusual headaches need urgent medical attention.
- Shoulder pain: Shoulder trouble can start in the neck, upper back or the joint itself. We assess the whole chain so care addresses the source.
- Low back pain: Back pain is one of the most common reasons people call us. Dr. Devine looks at the spine, hips and the way you move, then combines adjustments with guidance on posture and activity.
- Pinched nerve: Irritated nerves can cause sharp pain, tingling or weakness. We look at the spine and surrounding joints and explain what we find.
We also provide car accident care, sports injury care, prenatal care, pediatric care, laser therapy and wellness care. See all services and conditions.
What your first visit looks like
Your first visit with Dr. Devine starts with a conversation about your health history, what brought you in and what you want to get back to doing. He then performs an exam, explains what he finds in plain language, and recommends a care plan. X-rays are used only when they are clinically warranted.
Dr. Devine has practiced for more than 25 years and trained at Palmer West Chiropractic College. Co-owner Jodi Black is a nutrition coach, and the clinic also offers Erchonia laser therapy and rehab and physiotherapy options for patients who need extra support.
